Create a LinkedIn Company Page
Tell the world what your company is
all about! Post pictures, share status
updates, job listings, and showcase
your products and services.
Research Find potential clients,
research the people and organizations
that you do business with, see what
your competition is up to. With
advanced search you can target
individuals (leads) by specific
companies, job titles, regions or
cities and institutions.
Keep Current Make sure all of your
information is up-to-date and highlights
all of your skills.
Make Your Connections Count
It is important to make sure that your
connections are relevant to your
career — be selective in who you
connect with. LinkedIn allows you
to endorse the skills of people that
you know and they can endorse
you in return.
Ask for an Introduction The ability
to connect you to a larger network of
people through your current connec-
tions is one of the primary capabilities
of LinkedIn, so ask one of your shared
connections to make an introduction
for you. This helps break the ice and
gives individuals more of a willingness
to connect with you.
Increase Your Sales Connect with
leads and read company profiles (of
both competitors and potential clients)
to stay up to date with your industry.
Build relationships with your LinkedIn
connections — you never know
when they might need your services.
Join and Create Groups Join the
groups that your prospects belong
to in order to stay informed and
connected. You can send InMail to
group members even if you aren’t
connected to them directly. Creating
a group is a great way to demonstrate
thought leadership around a specific
area and show potential clients what
you are made of.
LinkedIn Today This allows users
to customize the news that they
see based on their interests. By
subscribing to your industry’s channel,
you can share stories and articles
that you feel are important. Build your
reputation and people will begin to
recognize you as a thought leader
and credible resource.
Promote Your Company Ask your
employees to promote and feature
your company on their individual
profile. This will connect your
company to the connections of your
employees and grow your reach.
Utilize the Products Page
Promote the products and services
that your company offers and even
assign members of your organization
to different product offerings so
prospects know exactly who to
contact. Customers can also
recommend a product or service
— boosting your credibility.
Post Videos Posting videos on
your LinkedIn Products and Services
page allows for better visibility
of your offerings.
Post Status Updates These updates
are a great place for you to post
relevant content to your industry.
Optimize for SEO A company
LinkedIn page greatly increases
your visibility across the web. Jobs
posted on LinkedIn appear in search
results. Enhance your visibility even
more by claiming your LinkedIn URL.
Look for the link to “Claim your URL”
under your profile photo.
LinkedIn Advertising When you
advertise on LinkedIn, you will be
asked to select your demographics
based on role, title, industry,
geography, etc. Use this information
to successfully reach your target
audience. Also make sure that there
is a call-to-action in your ad copy!
